Deaf woman, 59, on her way to church falls onto NYC subway tracks after being 'hit in the head' by homeless man who was arrested four days earlier for 'sucker-punching' another woman

A deaf woman fell onto the subway tracks in New York City after she was hit in the head by a homeless man who had been arrested for sucker-punching another victim just four days earlier.

Xing Zhou, 59, was on her way to church when a man hit her in the head at 10am Sunday morning at Manhattan's Union Square subway station. She lost her balance during the attack and fell onto the tracks.

Two bystanders helped Zhou off the tracks and waited with her until help arrived. She was taken to the hospital and given medication for her pain.

Police later arrested Vladimir Pierre, 41, who is accused of sucker punching another woman four days ago at a different subway station.

With the help of a sign language interpreter, Zhou shared her harrowing experience with Eyewitness News.

Zhou said she suffered a knock to her head as a result from the fall, in addition to hurting her leg and her back.

The suspect hit Zhou so hard that she said her glasses fell off.

The alleged attacker, who is described as homeless, was only given a desk appearance ticket and released shortly after.

'That's a problem,' Zhou told reporters, 'He's injuring people and causing pain. My head still hurts. I'm still in pain.'

Zhou said she's unsure if Pierre directed any anti-Asian slurs at her on account of her not being able to hear.

Despite the terrifying and random attack, Zhou said she will continue riding the subway.

These attacks are not random. At least they did not arrest her for being a racist.

Alternate theory of the crime: “Look, I’m homeless ... just what the heck do I have to do to get three squares and a cot? They keep letting me go! Do I actually have to kill someone?”

Well, in addition to the liberal belief that all black people are too stupid to know how to obtain an ID, they also believe that all homeless people are either mentally ill or drug addicts, thus relieving the culprit of responsibility for any crime committed.

I certainly disagree. If a person is incapable of controlling themselves or cannot recognize the difference between right and wrong, they should be in a mental ward, not walking around in public.

I get it but when the train arrives about 100 people push out the doors as everyone on the platform at the same time often try to push IN the doors.

The doors only stay open a few min if you don’t get in you wait for the next train. You say, ok. Wait for the next train? It’s a repeat scenario...all day long.

It’s crazy.

Am I reading this correctly? He has attacked people twice and he is back on the street? Does he have to kill someone before the "criminal justice system" does its job? He came close this time. Close, but no cigar.

“...Xing Zhou, 59, was on her way to church when a man hit her in the head ...”

I’m sure the guy was on his way to church too.

New York City ,even in its heyday , has always been one of the upper levels of hell

People are too busy ; there’s no parking ; everything is very expensive -and so on

But at least New York had its charms - and had a great theater ; great restaurants you can get anything you want anytime of day and so on and so forth

It used to bring in millions of tourists every year to see the World trade Center the Empire State building and all the other sites in Manhattan like Central Park

But now that the communists have completely taken over they’ve absolutely made it on livable and her driving people away

the same thing is happening out here in San Francisco

You’d have to be a complete moron to live in either city of this point

I refuse to even visit either one

Just as I thought: another white-supremacist Trump supporter, motivated to attack this Asian woman because of Trump’s use of the expression “China virus.” /s
